TOPIC

Hello!

Today, at the lesson in history, I finally decided what I want to work with in this report. I went to Kulturmagasinet to find some useful books for the topic I've chosen: Which is The Korean War.

I find it pretty interesting to read about, two different political sides vs each other. What I now want to know is WHY it broke out. When I was reading today, I read a lot about how it broke out when the US and Sovjet became "enemies" and wanted the South and North side of Korea to stay divided, but I didn't find anywhere to read about why the north side attacked the south side. Only that the capitalists saw it as an attempt to spread communistic ideas, to try out the strength of the capitalists.

Though, I borrowed around 3-4 books about the war, about what happened after and how it broke out, so I hope I will find some realistic and/or trustworthy answers there. I don't remember the names of the books, because I left them at school. But I can sign them up here tomorrow so you know a little bit more exactly what I'm reading for the moment.

The aims I also have to think about, what I will focuse on exactly and so on. Though, the linking to today is easy when Korea still is divided in North and South. This will probably develop into a very political report with streaks of history.
